The story “A Christmas Carol” is one of the most famous ever told. Made into countless film versions and TV movies, the original Charles Dickens tale is known to most. Now the record breaking, stunningly spectacular musical production, Scrooge, has opened at the Grand Canal Theatre in Dublin.
This production, direct from the London Palladium in the West End, is a heart-warming family story with stunning sets and costumes, specially created illusions by magician Paul Kieve (acclaimed for the magic effects in the Harry Potter films) and a fantastic musical score which features the Oscar nominated hit Thank You Very Much.
Tommy Steele, one of the most successful British entertainers of all time, returns to the stage for this production – his performances at the London Palladium sent him into the record books as the star to have headlined the most performances at London’s most famous theatre. Scrooge runs until Jan 2 but check for specific performance dates.
